Bantha Milk (Blue Milk) Cocktail

It’s Star Wars Day, and even though it’s Mocktail Monday, we’re doing a Cast Iron and Cocktails double feature. Check out our last video for the N/A version.

Recipe: Bantha (Blue) Milk

Ingredients:

• 0.5 oz lime juice

• 1.5 oz pineapple juice

• 0.5 oz blue curaçao

• 0.75 oz coconut rum

• 0.75 oz rum

• 2 oz coconut milk*

Build:

1. Add lime juice, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, and both rums to a shaker with ice.

2. Add coconut milk and shake aggressively to combine and chill.

3. Strain into a Collins glass over fresh ice. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

* Do not try to sub in light or low-fat coconut milk here. You need the higher fat content to keep the drink from separating or curdling. Trust me, I tried. This is also why I list adding the coconut milk as a seperate step right before shaking, so there is less time for it to interact with the acid before dilution.

Full disclosure, this is a version I came up with after some internet sleuthing, if you’ve had the one at Disney and decide to try this, I’d love to hear how it compares.
